Hi guys,
I recently took my GMAT Prep test (and after thoroughly reviewing it) I got very surprised with my Quant score...
I obviously know that there is no correlation in the number of correct answers and the score. As the Manhattan folks state in their Guide 0- Roadmap, "a 490 scorer and a 720 scorer can miss the same number of questions". Anyway, I always thought that unless you are a top scorer, you will always get around 55%-60% of questions correct.
In the quant section of today´s test, I got 29/37 correct (just 8 incorrect), which could be translated into a 78% accuracy, and GOT A MISERABLE Q42. Please note the following:
- In the first 10 questions, I got 8/10 correct.
- In the first 15 questions, I got 10/15 correct.
- I never got more than 2 incorrect answers in a row.
- I finished the section in the alloted time.
It felt like even though I was getting questions correct, those were always 600s questions. And although in 2 opportunities I got 7 questions correct in a row, it felt like Gmat Prep never wanted to take me to the 700 arena (I must have received around 2 or 3 700-questions in the whole section...)
The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that I made silly mistakes in questions #2 and #8. They were 500 and 600 questions respectively and I got them wrong. But still... it feels like Gmat Prep never forgave me for those mistakes.
After achieving Q51 in Gmat Club tests (which are way harder than Gmat Prep), I thought my true level was around Q48...
This has really stumped me. Any insight is very appreciated!!
Thanks a lot!

You got 33% wrong in the first 15 - that's your issue.
Another issue could be you hit a few topics you did not know... but as usual very hard to say what score you will get based on the incorrect answer count.
P.S. Which tests did you get Q51 on in GMAT Club tests? Was it the "Beta-Tests"? When did you take it? We have substantially improved scoring so it should be more along the lines of GMAT Prep and if it is not, I want to know ASAP.

Hi bb,
Thanks for your answer. I know it is hard to tell based on the correct/incorrect answer count. However, the statistics (29/37 correct = Q42) I was telling was kind of surprising. And even I agree with you on what my issue was... I wasn´t aware that 33% incorrect in the first 15 could have such effect. I think I´ll have to improve in not making ANY silly mistakes at all and aim for a 100% accuracy in 600-difficulty questions (especially in the first 10 questions), right?
And yes, I took the "Beta-Tests" several weeks ago. I´ll try with the new ones. They will surely help me to increase my quant score.
Thanks again.
